From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: Somehow, up2date -u kdelibs kde-i18n-Brazil reports lots of conflicts between these two packages. This is the first of them: file /usr/share/doc/HTML/pt_BR/common/1.png conflicts between attempted installs of kde-i18n-Brazil-3.2.2-1 and kdelibs-3.2.2-1 It's the only language in kde-i18n-Brazil that conflicts with kdelibs. up2date -u --exclude=kde-i18n-Brazil succeeds, and up2date -u kde-i18n-Brazil afterwards succeeds. Oddly, rpm -ql kdelibs | grep pt_BR/common gives no hits, but rpm -qf /usr/share/doc/HTML/pt_BR/common/1.png lists both rpms. What's going on?!? Could this possibly be a packaging bug in kdelibs, or is it a bug in rpm (or up2date)? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdelibs-3.2.2-1 kde-i18n-Brazil-3.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.up2date -u Actual Results: file /usr/share/doc/HTML/pt_BR/common/1.png conflicts between attempted installs of kde-i18n-Brazil-3.2.2-1 and kdelibs-3.2.2-1 (and many other similar errors about other pt_BR files) Expected Results: No such errors. Additional info:
skvidal said this affects British too. I'm investigating.
Hmmm, bad news, I tried downgrading two of my systems (i386 and x86_64) to KDE 3.2.1 then did a upgrade again. I can't reproduce any of these conflicts.
Both than and I were completely unable to reproduce this problem. Than said that Bug #121058 appears to be the same problem. This may be incorrect, but it may be worth checking out. I personally suspect that this could be an error caused by the rpm-python bindings. Alexandre said that he always uses up2date, while Seth Vidal uses yum. I personally always use apt, while than said that he uses rpm. (Huh?) apt and rpm avoid the rpm-python bindings entirely, so this could be a common cause of this problem? Just a guess...
I could reproduce it here and Than and I tracked it down to /usr/share/doc/HTML/[pt_BR,en_GB]/common being a symlink in older versions and a directory in kde-3.2.2.
it looks like that i have to make symlinks to ../en/common instead a directory here as it's done in old version! but it's a bug and should be a directory instead a symlink! Jeff, it looks like a bug in rpm, or i'm wrong here ?
ok, i have removed the directories add added the symlinks back. kde-i18n-3.2.2-2 should fix this problem.
